People naturally want to be honest and will generally follow copyright law. The people who will pirate stuff will pirate stuff. Most of them weren't going to give you money anyway. Getting over it is really a good way to go.

The software industry has gone through cycles of trying to use copy protection, then realizing it's impossible, then trying it again. It's come and gone many times over the last 30 years. Every time it's tried, it mainly just hurts legitimate users while never stopping piracy.
